@karlauerbach @mattblaze
yes, Matt's image is a very different view than the hackneyed standard Daly City postcard. Which would be better rendered with an easel and pastels than Kodachrome anyway.

Matt's use of digital B&W in the built-environment particularly is approaching a digital Ansel Adams for a new century.

@n1vux @karlauerbach I should point out that this *isn't* the Daly City that Reynolds sang about, but rather University Mound, on the other side of the city, and built up at a different time and without a single developer.

@n1vux@mastodon.radio @karlauerbach@sfba.social And, of course, Little Boxes isn't actually a song about architecture at all.

Right on!
All art is about people,
only some of it obviously.

Little boxes' social commentary may not be obvious upon first hearing, but the ?third? Verse attempts to apply clue-by-four.
